an obvious deficiency of any of these devices is that they are effective at preventing clots only in areas of the body where the squeezing action is performed, i.e. the legs

this is actually not true. studies have shown that compression devices have systemic effects (i forget the MOA)

The study I've posted was not powered to demonstrate the difference in efficacy between the 2 groups (there were no worrisome findings related to efficacy) but it was shown in other clinical studies that the device is at least as effective as Lovenox in DVT prevention and still have significantly less adverse effects.
